GRF2100
Low-current LNA
0.1—3.8 GHz
Product Description
GRF2100 is a high-gain, low-current LNA tunable over
100 to 3800 MHz. it exhibits outstanding gain and NF
with Iddq levels as low as 8 mA.
The device is operated from a supply voltage (V
DD
) of 1.8
to 5.0 V with a selectable I
DDQ
range of 8 to 30 mA for
optimal efficiency and linearity.
